Description:

NOTE: This is a synopsis of the Funding Opportunity
Announcement. You must
read the entire announcement (Attached below under Full Announcement and
Other
Files ) for application preparation instructions. Applications can not be
submitted directly under this master announcement but must be submitted
under
the sub-area of interest.

The U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) is competitively seeking cost-shared
applications for research and development efforts to improve coal-based
technologies directed at: 1) co-producing hydrogen and electricity, 2)
co-producing substitute natural gas (SNG) and electricity, and 3) enhancing
the
economics of co-production facilities by integrating the production of high

concepts that can increase plant efficiency, and reduce capital and
operating
costs while generating sequestration-ready carbon dioxide streams. The key

focus of this solicitation is to develop novel process technologies/unit
operations and/or novel process flow concepts to improve the economics and
efficiency of coal gasification co-production facilities. This Announcement

will be administered through the Office of Coal and Power R D at the
National
Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL).

The Application must describe the novel technologies/process concepts,
discuss
the technical challenges associated with the proposed technologies/process
concept, describe the approach to resolving these issues, and present a
logical
path to bring the approach to commercial reality. A block diagram of the
overall gasification process from feed to
product(s) is required to illustrate how the novel technologies/process
concept
satisfies the requirements of the solicitation. The block diagram must
clearly
specify those unit operations that are commercially available, those unit
operations that are currently under-development by other organizations, and
the
concept(s)/technology(ies) that will be developed by the
Recipient.
